Finding step by step instructions for DIY 3D back ground and decorations

[lindsay1126]

Hello everyone,
So my husband and me have decided that we want to redo a 29 gallon to make 2 levels for our leopard gecko, Gerty. Since we have never done anything like this before I have been looking for tutorials to help guide us in making it. I want to make sure we make it right, trying to not make any costly mistakes and be completely safe for Gerty. We can't use video tutorials as our internet is limited so written and pics would be best. I have found a few and want your thoughts on if they are correct and safe for my girl. Also if you all know of any please give me a link. Any insights and thoughts would be great. Thanks.

There's a million ways to do it depending on the particular look that you want and what species you're building for. My best suggestion is that you look through the old posts in this forum as well as the "naturalistic vivarium" forum and look for ideas that suit your needs the best. There's tons of great build threads to be found with some awesome ideas if you take the time to look.
